Project S.P.E.A.K.

Speaking Proficiently Enables All Kids (S.P.E.A.K.) is an acronym used by the Department of Teacher Education at Missouri Southern State University for a program designed to provide Missouri teachers with endorsement in Teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), and make a significant impact on the lives and academic achievement of at-risk English Language Learners (ELLs) in Southwest Missouri.

Over the past five years we have endorsed over 100 teachers and have 100% placement ratio to serve the Southwest Missouri area.
